Abstract
Apathetic thyrotoxicosis is frequently difficult to recognize and can imitate a variety of diseases. A patient with a severe thyrotoxic state is reported, who presented with protracted epigastric pain and vomiting. Hyperthyroidism should be considered in patients with such prolonged and unexplained symptoms.
